Why Verified Academic Credentials Matter
In many situations—university admissions abroad, visa or immigration applications, professional licensing, or job offers—simply having a degree or transcript isn’t enough. The verifying authority often needs:
-
Proof that your academic documents are genuine.
-
Officially issued, sealed, or attested transcripts.
-
Medium of instruction letters or migration certificates in certain cases.
-
Timely delivery and tracking, especially for international applications.
Without all this, documentation may be rejected or delayed.
What FACTS Transcripts and Verification Inc. Offers
FACTS provides a full suite of services to help individuals turn their educational credentials into documents that are accepted globally. Key services include:
-
Procurement of Academic Documents
FACTS helps students/alumni to get original or duplicate transcripts, consolidated mark sheets, degree/deploma certificates, migration certificates, and sometimes additional documents like convocation certificates. -
Electronic / Digital Transcripts
Where allowed, FACTS supports digital or electronic delivery of transcripts. This speeds up the process and avoids some of the delays and risks with physical courier shipments. -
Verification (Genuineness Checks)
They verify academic credentials: making sure what is claimed (degree title, university, grades, etc.) matches official records. This is essential for many credential evaluation processes or employer/immigration requirements. -
Attestation / Apostille / Legalization
For international use, documents often need attestation, apostille, or legalization. FACTS assists in making sure documents are properly authenticated so that other countries’ institutions or authorities accept them. -
Support for Credential Evaluation Bodies
Many overseas academic or licensing authorities require documents in specific formats, or with certain seal/verification standards. FACTS helps ensure documents meet those standards so evaluation bodies don’t reject them.
Key Strengths & What Makes FACTS Reliable
Here are what seem to be their advantages:
-
ISO Certifications: FACTS is certified under ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 27001 for information security. This shows strong systems for handling documents and data securely.
-
Wide University Network: They work with many universities across Indian states, which helps in quicker access and fewer issues in obtaining documents from varied institutions.
-

Things to Be Careful About / Challenges
Even with a good provider, there are things to watch out for:
-
University Delays: Getting official documents from universities depends on their internal bureaucracies. If a university is slow or has missing records, delays are inevitable.
-
Cost Transparency: There might be extra fees—not just for the transcript or certificate—but for attestation/apostille, courier (especially international), handling charges, or urgent requests. It’s important to ask for the full breakdown before starting.
-
Handling Originals: When originals must be sent/returned, risks include loss, damage, or delays in return. Proper packaging, insured courier, tracking are essential.
-
Destination-Specific Requirements: Different countries or evaluation bodies may have particular requirements (sealed envelopes, specific attestation, notarization, special formats). If these aren’t met, even verified documents may not be accepted.
-
Turnaround Time Variability: Depending on type of document, university, distance, type of delivery (electronic vs physical vs attested), time can vary widely. Always plan ahead.
Best Practices When Using Their Services
To make the process smoother and avoid surprises:
-
Check in advance what the receiving authority (university, licensing board, immigration department, etc.) wants in terms of format, attestation, sealed/unenveloped, etc.
-
Start the request early—give buffer for delays.
-
Keep good digital copies/scans of all original documents before sending.
-
Ask FACTS for a case ID or tracking number and use it to monitor progress.
-
Ensure clarity about cost, including all extra charges (courier, attestation, etc.).
-
Use reliable courier service if sending physical documents; get shipping/tracking, consider insurance if valuable documents.
